SUPPER

05' course, under the table was
a. perfectly proper place for
, a. slipper to be if it had a
foot in it. But there was no foot
in this slipper. Hugh Wakefield
discovered it under the gaming
table at Monte Carlo. He had
stooped. thinking the thing he
caught sight of amidst a medley
of feet to be a purse. but it proved
to be .a black and gold brocade
slipper of extremely large propor-
t on.
Everybody at the tables was far
too engrossed in play to notice
Hugh as he slipped the slipper into
his ample pocket. Then he took a
look around the table to see if
there wasmnyone whom he might
spot as the owner. Hugh was un-
able to get a seat at any of the
tables and people were standing
four and ilve deep waiting their
chance, but among the variety of
gamblers no one seemed exactly
to fit Hugh’s idea. of one who
would be wearing tho” mate to the
slipper.
If those crowds had been sit-
ting round a second—rate boarding
. house table playing Old Maid they
couldn't have expressed less excito-
ment. The women were all making
I quiet business of it. Jotting tiny
marks down in'books that might
have been their grocery list for the
day. Hugh was disgusted. _ On
this, his first visit to the famous
Casino, be had expected to see
wild turmoil with women fainting
about. the floor over their losses;
and men dashing outside to fire’
the fatal shot.
ment was complete and when he
arrived back home. ill-Boston. his
most exciting tale to tell was the
one of the slipper.
Hugh himself was a fine big
chap. standing well over six feet
and broad. It did not worry him
in the least that the unknown
owner of that slipper should have
large feet.
“Perhaps her understanding is
equally expansive.” he ruminatsd.
"end I prefer sensible feet any
way to those infernal ankle break-
ing high heeled things." And so
his quest began. for he was de-
termined in some way. in some
part of the globe. to find that lady
who had. been at
tables at Monte Carlo.
And the Honorable
belonged. had. on the memorable
occasion when she had for the
first and only time visited and
risked her chances on the tables.
long since forgotten her loss ex—
cept that she kept the mate be-
cause it undoubtedly had brought.
her supreme good luck. 'l‘hcro
were tiny four leaf clovers cun—
uingly woven into the brocade
fabric. Perhaps theybarl hccn rev
sponsihle. For the Honorable
Alicia. had very nearly broken the
bank at. Monte Carlo and in her
excitement. had kicked off a slipper
that pinched her pet toe. in set—
ting up from the table she forgot
it. slipped into her car and was
away of? inward Cannes before she
gave it a thought.
So. great was her excitement?
If Hugh “Wakefield had found the
place dull. certainly Alicia had
not. She had been on her honey-
moon—41 honeymoon that bad
lengthened now into eighteen
months.
And now, in their ancestral
home way over in southcrn Kent
in England, the tale of the slipper
reached their ears. Through a
perfect meshwork of friends and
acquaintances the Honorable
David had heard the story and
had now given it. for what it was
worth. to his wife’s interested
ears.
“My slipper! How absolutely
fascinating! How soon is Silvia
going on her concert tour to the
States?"
"Romance at work."
David.

Consequently when his James.

was a note from one who signed
herself merely. “owrxer of the Slipc-

The note read: “I have heard in

The car was exquisitely appointed.
and hanging just where the flower

isnnk back to await the lady herself.
or course it was Silvia. lie had

Silvia was laughing softly at the
two slippers hanging side by side.
"You see. I can prove fny claim."
she said. In her heart Silvia liked
the big. now shy man who had
picked up her sister's slipper at
Monte Carlo.
“The ways of the world are cur!-

sheer glory of your voice. and now
